Ok, so you are saying this is mostly not a bug. That's fine, but I still need to figure out how to make smart eject do what I want with it.

It probably is. I think I have empty books in the library that match the rest of my purchased (and overdrive) books, likely this one just got missed.

This brings me back to the other part of my question...
How can I exclude this from the device list search. Am I doing something wrong that I can't get size to match it?

Or maybe I should just create an empty book to cover it.
It would be nice if instead of giving an error when I try to import it, calibre offered to import just the metadata and not try to import a format and create the empty book for me.

I use SmartEject as well. But, I turn of fmost of the checks. I use multiple libraries and there are lots of books on the devices that aren't in whichever library I am looking at when I eject the device.
I have multiple libraries as well, and my solution to that is that each library has two special tags: One indicates that the book is in that library, so smart eject ignores it for other libraries. The other indicates that the book needs to be imported into the library.

So, for instance, if I have a book in library B that I want to add to A, I add importA to the tags for it in library B... otherwise it has the tag libB and smart eject ignores it in library A.

I wouldn't have to do that, except that the libraries live on different computers and (intentionally) have only a small amount of overlap between them, and rarely I collect a book in the wrong place that needs to be transferred.
